Son of God, eternal Saviour

Author: Somerset Corry Lowry, 1855-1932 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:32-36 Lyrics: 1 Son of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race, Christ our Head, who throned in glory for your own will ever plead, fill us with your love and pity, heal our wrongs, and help our need. 2 As you, Lord, have lived for others so may we for others live; freely have your gifts been granted, freely may your servants give: yours the gold and yours the silver, yours the wealth of sea and land, we but stewards of your bounty held in trust as from your hand. 3 Come, O Christ, and reign among us King of love and Prince of peace; hush the storm of strife and passion, bid its cruel discords cease; by your patient years of toiling, by your silent hours of pain, quench our fevered thirst of pleasure, shame our selfish greed of gain. 4 Son of God, eternal Saviour, source of life and truth and grace, Son of Man, whose birth incarnate hallows all our human race, in your love you prayed the Father that your people should be one: grant, O Christ, our hope's fruition, here on earth your will be done.

Sing of Andrew, John's Disciple

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Luke 6:12-16 Lyrics: 1 Sing of Andrew, John's disciple, led by faith through ways untrod, till the Baptist cried at Jordan, "There behold the Lamb of God!" Stirred by hearing this new teacher, Andrew, freed from doubt and fear, ran to tell his brother Simon, :God's Anointed One is here!" 2 Sing of Andrew, called by Jesus from the shores of Galilee, leaving boats and nets and kindred, trusting in that "Follow me." When a lad's small meal fed thousands, when inquiring Greeks found care, when the Spirit came in blessing, Andrew faithfully was there. 3 Sing of Andrew, bold apostle, sent to make the gospel known, faithful to his Lord's example, called to make a cross his own. So may we who prize his memory honour Christ in our own day, bearing witness to our neighbours, living what we sing and pray. Topics: Andrew Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
